William Arthur Foley Jr. (August 8, 1926 – April 18, 2020) was an American painter, sketch artist, muralist, and author whose work focused on his personal experience during World War II.

At the age of eighteen, Foley fought on the front lines of the Battle of The Bulge in the 94th Infantry Division as a rifleman.

[6] In 2003, Foley finished 94th Mural to honor the 94th Infantry Division, which is displayed at the Massachusetts State House in Boston.

He notes that victories on the battlefield were not a cause for celebration, and expresses his understanding of soldiers who deserted their posts, given the difficulties of war.

Foley's account of the war has been described as "one of the most outstanding memoirs in recent memory",[7] in particular his descriptions of Germany, which are compared to landscapes as described by Dante Alighieri.
